In the Chinese military tent, Li Renyi looked around cautiously.

Xu Ping was sitting in the middle of the handsome position, with a serious face. A big man in armor stood aside, with a knife on his waist, it was Tan Hu, the leader of Xu Ping's entourage.

Other than that, there were no outsiders in the whole tent, and it seemed empty.

In the big tent, there are also a few kerosene lamps on the desk in front of Xu Ping, which illuminates the big tent. This lamp is also smuggled from the Yongzhou cane sugar business, which is extremely expensive, except for the palace and some high-ranking officials and nobles, the general rich cannot afford to use it. Li Renyi, as the most trusted chamberlain by Li Foma's side, also managed to get one and put it in his bedroom, like a baby, he was easily reluctant to order it.

Looking at Li Renyi, who looked uneasy, Xu Ping said in a deep voice: "You are the body of King Nanping, you are not comparable to ordinary people, look at the seat!" ”

Hearing this, Li Renyi looked at Tan Hu beside Xu Ping, and saw that he was motionless, and he didn't even have any expression on his face.

Seeing that Tan Hu didn't move, he looked left and right, there was no second stool in the entire tent except under Xu Ping's buttocks, Li Renyi understood in his heart that the so-called "watch" was just Xu Ping's casual remarks.

With a smile on his face, Li Renyi bowed his hand to Xu Ping: "What kind of person is small, where is my seat in front of the big handsome?" If the big handsome has something to do, just stand and talk. ”

Xu Ping looked at Li Renyi for a while, until he saw that he was at a loss, and his heart was a little weak, and then he said: "Since the beginning of winter, Jiaozhi has invaded the territory of my Great Song Langzhou three times. Attacking the king with ministers is a big rebellion! ”

Seeing that Xu Ping suddenly raised his voice, Li Renyi was so frightened that his heart trembled.

Xu Ping said again: "You have a good identity in Jiaozhi. Tell me the truth. Which one is crazy. Pick up the king of Nanping to do such a mischief! ”

Li Renyi looked at Xu Ping, and didn't know where to start for a while.

The so-called Song is the king, and Jiaozhi is the minister, isn't there a small country that can't coax the big Song Dynasty to be happy? In the final analysis, it is still two countries, why do you have the Great Song Dynasty to occupy the Langzhou of Jiaozhi, and Jiaozhi can't fight back?

Xu Ping looked at Li Renyi and said in a deep voice: "You look around, spitting and spitting." It seems that the person who deliberately committed the crime has a good identity, and he does not dare to say it with your identity. ”

Li Renyi opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything. I muttered in my heart, the Great Song Dynasty occupied Langzhou, and the northern gateway of Jiaozhi was wide open, who else would be able to take it back, and which king would try his best to take it back.

Xu Ping said again: "Looking at your expression, you are planning to rebel, is it the king of Nanping who does not abide by the courtesy?" ”

Li Renyi saw Xu Ping talking to himself there vigorously, and he couldn't answer. simply closed his mouth tightly and let Xu Ping say whatever he wanted.

"The way you look. It's the default. Xu Ping sighed, "Since King Nanping was ordered to succeed to the throne a few years ago, my Great Song Dynasty has been very kind to him. Allow him to take his father's throne, be rewarded several times, be a high lord, and the surrounding feudal countries, none of them have such creation, but I didn't expect it to be a wolf's ambition! ”

Li Renyi opened his mouth, but he couldn't understand Xu Ping's thoughts in his heart, and he still didn't say anything.

"Don't you feel ashamed to be a subordinate under such a person?"

Xu Ping's voice softened, and he looked at Li Renyi and asked.

Li Renyi finally came back to his senses and bowed his hand to Xu Ping: "The little ones are just the subordinates who serve around the King of Nanping, and they don't know anything about these military affairs. ”

"Then what are you doing in Langzhou?"

Li Renyi was stunned and speechless. Until now, he still hasn't figured out why Xu Ping came to him to say these puzzling words. I don't dare to talk nonsense casually, in case I say too much and make too many mistakes.

Xu Ping leaned forward with his hand, leaned forward, looked at Li Renyi, and said in a deep voice: "You say, Li Foma, a person who has committed a crime below and has no courtesy, what do you mean by following?" ”

Seeing Li Renyi's body shrink for a moment, Xu Ping said again: "He dared to oppose the Great Song Dynasty, didn't he force his subordinates to oppose him?" Li Renyi, do you want to make Li Foma's rebellion? ”

Li Renyi was stunned for a while before stammering: "Where did you start with this big handsome?" ”

"Let's start with you! Li Foma dares to commit the following offenses, how can I, Da Song, tolerate him? If you are a person who understands current affairs, surrenders to Cheng as soon as possible, and captures Li Foma, you will be a loyal minister of my Great Song Dynasty! ”

Hearing this, how could Li Renyi not know what Xu Ping meant? But he is a eunuch, and he is not Li Fengxiao's identity, a great Song Zhongchen who is a ghost!

Seeing Li Renyi's eyes flickering, Xu Ping said in a deep voice: "Are you willing to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

At this time, Li Renyi couldn't be silent anymore, and said to Xu Ping: "The status of a small person is low, where can I do anything big?" If there is anything to say, the marshal directly commands. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "Well, you don't have to be humble, I can inquire clearly, you still have status and status in the palace." Now Li Foma has gone against the grain, and the kingdom is furious. I will let you go back to Longfu, unite the loyal people in the city, capture Li Foma, and quell the border dispute, which is also a great achievement! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping didn't wait for Li Renyi's answer, and said to Tan Hu beside him: "You take people out now, without further ado, quickly send them across the river and do something great for the imperial court!" ”

Li Renyi's second monk was confused, and before he could figure out what was going on, Tan Hu strode down, grabbed Li Renyi's arm, and dragged him out of the Chinese military tent.

When he arrived outside the tent, Li Renyi found that there were more than 20 prisoners standing outside the tent, and most of the people inside he knew, basically civilian officials in charge of logistics and military orders, mixed with a few military generals.

Tan Hu let go of Li Renyi and said to the soldiers guarding the side: "It's not too early, a few of you, escort these people across the Fuliang River and go back to Longfu to do something big!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to several people, including Li Renyi.

The pro-soldiers guarding the side stepped forward quickly, half-supported and half-escorted the few pointed out, and walked out of the barracks.

Tan Hu pointed to the others and said: "These people are stubborn, and they are willing to be the lackeys of the rebel Li Fuma, pull down each of the fifty military sticks, and watch them carefully!" ”

Li Renyi was held hostage by Xu Ping's own soldiers, and when he looked back, he saw that the rest of the people were all taken away by the wolf-like soldiers, and he was in turmoil for a while.

He never promised Xu Ping to be the internal response of the Song Army, but what about the others? Is it to use himself as a trick to cover the real spies to return to the Dragon Mansion, or is it a discordant plan of the Song army? Thinking carefully about the process of meeting Xu Ping, Li Renyi couldn't make up his mind in his heart, how to speak when he returned to Li Foma.

Asked Tan Hu to take Li Renyi and a few people away, Xu Ping leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

With this kind of background, of course, he won't believe in any conspiracy and trickery, and if he is divided, he will cause discord between the monarchs and ministers, open the city gate and surrender or something. After all, everything depends on strength, and everything else is a small way.

The reason for doing this drama is that there is nothing to do at this time, and the other is to confuse the Jiaozhi people, so that Jiaozhi can't guess his intentions.

After a cup of tea, Tan Hu came back to his life.

Not long after a while, Sang Yi, Zhang Rong and Han Daocheng entered the handsome tent.

came in to greet him, Xu Ping ordered the seats, and asked them, "How is Gao Daquan over there?" ”

Sang Yi smiled with a smile on his face: "Just now, a soldier returned quickly, Gao Daquan and three thousand cavalry were crossing the river, and there was no Jiaozhi army on the opposite side to stop it." According to all sources, the Cochin army must have been concentrated in Thang Long Mansion. ”

"Gao Daquan 3,000 cavalry, although it is not possible to attack the city, it is enough to clear the banks of the dry and quiet river and cover our safe crossing of the river." Xu Ping's face became serious, "Is there any news from the two hundred cavalry sent back to fetch gunpowder?" If they don't come back, we can't move, and you urge them again, don't be out of touch with Gao Daquan's actions. ”

Han Daocheng said: "I sent a sentry out, and I reported not long ago that I would definitely arrive here in the early morning tomorrow!" Official, I guarantee with my life, I will never make a mistake! ”

"Good! Today, March 23, ten days, Thang Long Mansion was breached. If the siege fails within ten days, we will immediately return to Langzhou! Even if the reinforcements come from behind, we are only 20,000 people, if we are trapped under the fortified city of Thang Long Mansion and surrounded by soldiers and horses from other directions of Jiaozhi, then the host and guest will change the situation, and we will lose a big defeat! Since last winter's hard work until now, we can't throw away all the results because of greed! ”

The crowd agreed.

After several twists and turns, Xu Ping was lucky and defeated the main force guarding the Jiaozhi Royal City, which had the opportunity to make the Shenglong Mansion suddenly exposed to the Song army.

But the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhi are not only the people who guard the royal city, once the royal city is besieged, the Jiaozhi army in other directions will inevitably ignore what is occupying the city, Sumaozhou and the like, and go all out to defend. At that time, Xu Ping's men and horses were at a disadvantage again, and there was no defensive fortifications in Langzhou, so this kind of risk could not be taken.

In fact, if there was no threat from the outer army of Jiaozhi, Xu Ping would not have to wait for a few generals under him to think carefully, and he would have brought the soldiers and horses of Langzhou to kill him. Because of the threat of other Jiaozhi troops, it would be an adventure to attack Thang Long Mansion directly, but Xu Ping was not born to take risks.

The current situation is like a later life hearing about a peerless beauty, and he just wanted to take a look from afar, and then he was satisfied. As a result, when I arrived at the door, I found that the eldest girl was stripped naked, lying on the bed and tempted in every way.

This kind of thing is not well thought out and must be done with care. If you rely solely on impulse and can't control yourself, unexpected opportunities may become traps, and good things can become bad things.

Since he agreed with the idea of Sang Yi and the others, if he wanted to take this unexpected opportunity to go around the Shenglong Mansion, Xu Ping had to think things through. What method to use, how to fight, how to retreat, and how to clean up the mess when the time comes, he has to think clearly.

Sang Yi and the others are military generals in the end, and they don't need to consider the overall situation, but Xu Ping can't act so impulsively. He must not be reckless if he has to fully grasp this opportunity and ensure that the follow-up is under control. (To be continued.) )
